Military and war quotes

Military quotes and links to military quotes:
 

"We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air. We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets. We shall fight in the hills. We shall never surrender!

Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duty, and so bear ourselves that if the British Empire and it's Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say 'This was their finest hour'.

...if we fail, then the whole world - including the United States - including all that we have known and cared for - will sink into the abyss of a new 'Dark Age', made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science."
- Winston C., 1940

"It’s Tommy this an’ Tommy that an’ “Chuck ’im out, the brute,”
But it’s “Savior of ’is country,” when the guns begin to shoot." - Rudyard Kipling, Tommy

"...he which hath no stomach to this fight, 
Let him depart; his passport shall be made, 
And crowns for convoy put into his purse; 
We would not die in that man's company 
That fears his fellowship to die with us. 
This day is call'd the feast of Crispian. 
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home, 
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd, 
And rouse him at the name of Crispian. 
He that shall live this day, and see old age, 
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours, 
And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian.' 
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars, 
And say 'These wounds I had on Crispian's day.' 
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot, 
But he'll remember, with advantages, 
What feats he did that day..." - Shakespeare, Henry V
